Killa Comfort Swimming Goggles

The Orca Killa Comfort Swimming Goggles are open water swim goggles with a wide lens and a soft silicone gasket. They are built for long swims in the sea: a seal that holds without pressure, a broad view for sighting, and an anti-fog coating. Pick from mirror, smoke and clear lenses.

Fit and seal

The gasket is moulded in three dimensions from soft silicone, so it follows the shape of your eye socket and seals with light, even contact. You get a watertight fit without cranking the strap down, and without deep rings around your eyes after an hour in the water.

The silicone strap splits in two at the back of your head, which spreads the hold and keeps the goggles steady through chop and a crowded race start. A clip buckle at each temple lets you tighten or loosen the strap quickly, even with cold fingers.

To check the fit, press the goggles onto your eyes without the strap. If they hold for a moment by suction alone, the seal is right for your face.

Lens and vision

The wide lens gives you a broad field of vision, so you can find the next buoy, the swimmer beside you and the headland you are aiming for without lifting your head far out of the water. Match the lens to your light:

• Mirror Black: for bright sun and glare off the water, the pick for a midday swim off Noosa or an east-facing race start.
• Smoke Black: a darker tint for mixed conditions.
• Clear White: for dawn and dusk swims, overcast days and indoor pools.

Fogging

The inside of each lens carries Orca's long-lasting anti-fog coating, so your view stays clear from the beach to the last buoy. Look after the coating and it looks after you: keep your fingers off the inside of the lens and never wipe it with a towel.

Looking after it

Rinse the goggles in fresh water after every swim, salt or chlorine, and let them dry in the shade before you put them away. Store them where the lenses will not be scratched by keys or sand in the bottom of your swim bag.
